Why is Yasuo not getting changes like other assassins?

Because we all know that rework these days means nerf.

Because he's not an assassin.

And no, we don't really want to see him nerfed*, we want to see him reworked into a champion with a healthy kit.

-* Though, considering the toxicity of his kit, over-nerfing him until the rework would be acceptable.

"He's not an assassin, he's a sLAYER" says the same people that call darius not a tank

Actually he's a Skirmisher.

However Assassins and Skirmishers both belong to the Slayer Class, so they are related.

Also Darius is a Juggernaut, a Fighter.

"Tank" is a class, not a sub-archetype. A champion cannot be just a "tank".

They are either offensive tanks (Vanguards) or defensive tanks (Wardens)

Yasuo is a Skirmisher, not an Assassin.

here's is my take on this, yas may not be an assassin, but hes way more of an assassin than kindred or teemo is a marksman. So i mean the point of reworking the assassins is because the gameplay style is unhealthy and I will place yas in that same category whether he is an assassin or not.

Teemo is an assassin marksman =\ teemo is kind of his own unique thing...

yes this is what we call a Skirmisher. Fiora does the same thing. She is also a Skirmisher. So is Yi and he is a Skirmisher.

Neko CaitlynNov 2, 20161 votes

Nobody gives a fuck about “skirmishers” or “divers” or whatever. Its an assassin.

TyrekGoldenspearNov 2, 20163 votes

We care. The classification nuts of the boards.

Neko CaitlynNov 2, 20161 votes

Theyre called ADCs. Get mad

TyrekGoldenspearNov 2, 20163 votes

Can't. Marksmen literally have no other subcategories or classes besides "Marksmen".

You guys are easy to classify.

Neko CaitlynNov 2, 20161 votes

There's no such thing as “marksmen”. I refuse to use any of these stupid terms.

TyrekGoldenspearNov 2, 20163 votes

Okay. But let's say I refuse to use the term Human to describe you.

Does that mean humans don't exist or that you aren't human?

Hmmm?

Look here is how it works. Champs that jump on you and one shot you then run away are assassins) Champions that jump on you and quickly auto you 100 times and you die then jump on the next person auto them 100 times and they die is a skirmisher. One is sustain damage one is nuke damage. Also skirmishers have abilities to negate damage example Yi's heal and Yas's windwall/shield or Fiora's counter strike. Assassins kits are just pure mobility and damage.
